Story & heritage

The 2400 extends Ultra Cotton’s heavyweight character into a long-sleeve blank. Gildan’s official snippet describes Ultra Cotton as providing structure and durability in an extensive colour palette, which is exactly the niche this style fills.

For printers, the 2400 is the heavier long-sleeve option: more substantial than a lightweight layering tee and plain enough to take campus, staff, merch or event graphics without fighting the design.

Materials & craft

Retail descriptions identify the 2400 as a 6.0 oz Ultra Cotton long sleeve. The family’s construction language centers on preshrunk cotton jersey, taped neck and shoulders and double-needle sleeve and bottom hems, with cotton/poly exceptions for selected colours.

How to choose & style

Choose this heavy long-sleeve tee by weight, hand feel and decoration method first, then by colour. White, black, navy and sport grey are the safest uniform choices; brighter Gildan shades work best when the blank itself is part of the team or event identity.

For a retail-leaning look, size up and keep the graphic restrained. For staff, school or bulk merch, prioritize the core colour with the best size availability and use companion youth or women’s cuts only when the same family offers them.
